Good morning, I was just wondering if it is possible to use Sketchup's Scenes/Sections in autocad instead of SketchUp Layouts.

AutoCAD is just must faster and simpler to use, and more reliable too which is why I want to lean towards AutoCAD more than layouts, does anyone know if this is possible? (Ideally keeping the hatch colours too, and function similar to an XREF where it will update if the sketchup model is ever changed or updated)

Thank you

AutoCAD was developed keeping in view the computer-aided design (CAD) architecture and is a drafting software. AutoCAD is primarily used in designing blueprints and floor plans by various production and construction companies. Autodesk first developed and marketed the software as a standalone microcomputer application. Eventually, it was released as a full-fledged OS-based software. AutoCAD was later also released as an online tool with the name of AutoCAD 360. Files created in AutoCAD have the extension .dwg.

Sketchup is another 3D modeling based design software that Google and Last Software initially developed. It was launched as Google Sketchup. Trimble Inc owns the software. Today. Sketchup is useful for creating civil, mechanical engineering, filmmaking models, etc. A highly versatile software, Sketchup is available as a free web-based application with a paid version offering added functionality. Designs in Sketchup are saved in SKP format with the extension .skp.This article provides Ditail comparison of autocad vs sketchup.

To conclude, AutoCAD vs Sketchup are both great software for creating and publishing designs for different things professionally. While AutoCAD is great for 2D and 3D designs that revolve around civil, mechanical engineering, and architecture, SketchUp can help you design 3D objects and render them on the world map. Your choice of software depends upon the needs of your clients and the nature of your work.

If you are an engineer or an architect, who needs to design floor plans and/or big designs, AutoCAD would be your software of choice. On the other hand, if you happen to be a filmmaker, graphic designer, or production engineer who needs to design 3D models of parts, then SketchUp would be your pick. Financially, AutoCAD is comparatively more expensive than SketchUp. At the same time, AutoCAD offers much more customization options than SketchUp.
